Fgetcsv php manual

Parses a string input for fields in CSV format and returns an array containing the fields read.. Note. The locale settings are taken into account by this function. If LC_CTYPE is e.g. en_www.doorway.ru-8, strings in one-byte encodings may be read wrongly by this function. Added in PHP Similar to fgets() except that fgetcsv() parses the line it reads for fields in CSV format and returns an array containing the fields read. fgetcsv() returns FALSE on . Notes. Note: If PHP is not properly recognizing the line endings when reading files either on or created by a Macintosh computer, enabling the auto_detect_line_endings run-time configuration option may help resolve the problem.. Note. People used to the 'C' semantics of .

Parameters. delimiter. The field delimiter (one character only). Defaults as a comma or the value set using SplFileObject::setCsvControl().. enclosure. The field enclosure character (one character only). A valid file pointer to a file successfully opened by fopen (), popen (), or fsockopen (). Must be greater than the longest line (in characters) to be found in the CSV file (allowing for trailing line-end characters). It became optional in PHP 5. Omitting this parameter (or setting it to 0 in PHP and later) the maximum line length is not. The php manual website is utter shit with very bad examples. I'd rather have people asking simple stuff here and do it right than have one person use the mysql_* functions (for example). If you don't like it just unsubscribe.

Parameters. handle. The file pointer must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by fopen() or fsockopen() (and not yet closed by fclose()).. length. Reading ends when length - 1 bytes have been read, or a newline (which is included in the return value), or an EOF (whichever comes first). Note: If PHP is not properly recognizing the line endings when reading files either on or created by a Macintosh computer, enabling the auto_detect_line_endings run-time configuration option may help resolve the problem. fgetcsv() returns NULL if an invalid handle is supplied or FALSE on other errors, including end of file. Note that fgetcsv, at least in PHP or previous, will NOT work with UTF encoded files. Your options are to convert the entire file to ISO (or latin1), or convert line by line and convert each line into ISO encoding, then use str_getcsv (or compatible backwards-compatible implementation).
